Explanation:
It is given that, the height of a certain tower is 862 feet i.e to reach on the ground the object should travel, s = 862 feet
The distance traveled by a freely falling object is given by :



t = 7.34 seconds
So, the object will take 7.34 seconds to fall to the ground from the top of the building. Hence, this is the required solution.
It will take 21s for yhe alligator to crawl that distance. Reported answer contains 2 Significant Figures.
● Use lubricants such as oil.
● Place the load on a piece of cloth as it can ease the friction
● Place the load on a cart with wheels so it can be converted to rolling friction and can be pushed easily.
● Place the load on an inclined plane
